This is a blog about where food comes from. I'm interested in agriculture, food processing, and cooking. I'm especially keen on traditional processes--the ways people grew and processed food in the past.

Odds and Ends

Here are some recent pictures I've meant to post.

200 pounds of pumpkin. It just about killed me to drag that cart back up the hill from the garden to the house. There are 12 pumpkins in the cart; I've cooked and frozen five or six, and the rest are still sitting in the cart on the porch.

The pumpkin patch, on harvest day. The vines got pretty ratty before I picked the pumpkins. They have since been cleaned up an thrown into the compost pile.

The inside of a purple tomato. It's just a very deep red, instead of that purply-brown color the outside has.
